Rooms on the Santa Maria del Mar beach, East Havana, with pool, air conditioning, breakfast upon request, with a gazebo and grill. Quiet, private and comfortable, 20 minutes from the city and 5 from Guanabo.

Cristina's place is awesome and the pool is great. The location is not that close to the beach but it's ok, just a short walk. If someone is coming in the summer, just don't forget to bring repellent for insects because you'll definitely need it. But Cristina and her staff are very nice people, very helpful at all times.

Staying at Cristina’s house was the best way to start my Cuban experience. My family and I received the best treatment with the warmest hospitality of all three locations. Breakfast was promptly ready at 9 am daily. It consisted of traditional Cuban items (eggs, meat and bread), a variety of fresh fruits and freshly made blended juices. Initially, I thought it was orange juice and was pleasantly surprised to find out it was mango juice! OMG, I was in heaven. The pool was clean. Cristina was extremely helpful in getting a van for us to go to Matanzas (we packed a bit on the heavy side). She also offered to assist us with anything we needed for the rest of our vacation. Thank you Cristina!!!

This house is beautiful, simple and has all the necessities. Cristina is an awesome host. She made herself available and went an extra mile to ensure we had a good time. The area is beautiful, quiet, close to havana and the beach is a gem. Its a 7mn walk to the beach and 25mn cab ride to havana; cabs are easy to get and their prices vary between 15 to 30 CUC. The area is extremely safe and everyone (no exception) is very friendly and reliable. We were 5 girls vacaying to celebrate a mileatone birthday and had no issues walking around and riding cabs till 4am in the morning. Every encounter was memorable. The helper at the house took great care of us. She would change towels, make our beds and clean the bathrooms every day. Y we opted for a daily breakfast at an extra charge (5 CUC per person); it worth it!
The best part is that we had no WiF so we got to really disconnectes from the daily digital stress and simply focused on enjoying the moment. And YES you can stay a week without internet; it's doable and felt awesome!!
